It will generate a strong checksum (called Git-EVTag-v0-SHA512) over the commit, tree, and blobs it references (and recursively over submodules). A primary rationale for this is that the underlying SHA1 algorithm of git is under increasing threat. Further, a goal here is to create a checksum that covers the entire source of a single revision as a replacement for tarballs + checksums. > Since I last posted about this on the list here, of course > shattered.io happened.
